Abstract: A wax core is dipped multiple times in liquid clear wax and water sequentially. Thereafter, the candle is dipped multiple times in a liquid pigmented wax to form a first pigmented layer. When the desired shade is achieved, one or more layers of clear wax is added. The cooled pigmented wax layer with a clear layer on top is then dipped in water multiple times to produce a primed surface layer at ±1 degree ambient. The candle is now rubbed to assist the peeling of any layer over the primed surface. Multiple layers of clear wax are then added followed by a second pigmented wax. The process is repeated for as many pigmented wax layers as desired. The final candle has a glaze outer layer applied by dipping.

Abstract: A top loop fits around the neck of a golfer. A bottom loop fits around the mid-section of the golfer. An intermediate section containing a breakaway unit connects the top loop to the bottom loop. If the golfer projects an acceptable swing, the breakaway unit does not disengage until the golfer reaches the follow through mode. If the breakaway unit disengages during the downward or ball contact mode, then the swing has not been satisfactory.

Abstract: A pair of opposed A-frames are positioned uprightly on a flat bed chassis. A downwardly descending side leg on each side of each A-frame rests on an axially mounted beam. The beam is attached to the underside of the flat bed chassis and extends outwardly from a side surface of the flat bed trailer and is angled upwardly to support a bottom edge of a building material slab or sheet.

Abstract: A patient with a dislocated hip lies on a planar pad having side rails along which slides a frame having upright members on each side of the pad and a horizontal member connecting the top of the upright members. A first winch mounted on an upright member controls cables connected to a mid-portion of a leg sleeve on the patient to lift the patient's leg. A second winch mounted on the same upright member controls cables connected to a top portion of the leg sleeve to pull the patient's hip outwardly to a normal position in the hip socket.

Abstract: A chemical agent detector utilizing surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors for detecting the presence of a multitude of chemical agents by sampling ambient air is provided. A pressure-differential manifold having an air intake port, an exhaust port, a valve and a pump is used to draw the ambient air into the manifold to be tested. A plurality of SAW sensors mounted on sensor driver boards which are in turn mounted on the manifold come into contact with the ambient air sample. Each SAW sensor is coated with a substance that has an affinity for detecting a particular chemical agent. Each SAW sensor driver board generates a continuous RF signal which emits a frequency shift if a particular chemical agent is detected. A power cycler module turns each sensor driver board on and off such that only one sensor driver board is powered-on at a given point in time.

Abstract: A front and rear wheel assembly having an axle housing with a wheel rotatable on a shaft at each end of the axle housing and a connecting member connecting a central portion of each axle housing. A right and left side upright support frame affixed to a top surface of each axle housing between the connecting member and the wheel. The upright support frames each have multiple engagement ridges on a top surface and side edges adjacent the top surface. A movable planar platform is slidably mounted with its C-channels enclosing the side edges of the support frame. A latch portion of the movable planar platform having a downwardly directed spike engaging the engagement ridges on the support frame. Lifting of the latch allows movement in or out of the planar platforms with respect to the connecting member to accommodate containers of different widths resting on the planar platforms.
